In another thread there has been a hot debate on equality, whether it exists, whether it should exist, whether two human beings of different social statuses should be treated equally. All these questions are valid, and I'd like to get some of the views on the subject from other members of ACB who believe they have informed viewpoints on the subject.

Personally I believe that equality is an impossibility, and also, that it shouldn't necessarily be something to strive for. First of all, no one is alike, from birth we start out with different traits genetically, and from there we grow to train different skills. Therefore equality can never be reached on any viable level. This does not mean i encourage discrimination based on race, but discrimination based on skills, intelligence, and ability to perform is a necessity. Obama probably never would have been a professional football player, likewise, Troy Aikman would make a shit president. White people over the past few thousand years, have fucked themselves, by intentionally separating themselves from other ethnicities, in their attempt to place themselves on a higher plain than other races, they have committed many atrocities in the name of religion or politics. Therefore as a race white people will never be viewed by minorities as equally tolerant, just as many white people will probably never view other races as equally intelligent, or equally hard working, or equally skilled in certain trades. Equality is not an obtainable goal, shouldn't we just strive for acceptance of the fact that while no one is equal, also, no one is better at everything. ]]> Enlightened Individuals hdeuce http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=32447
